Out with the old. And by old, I mean the way we used to live (eat). Before Cruz, we ate out all the time, and it was always bad (well, yummy, but bad for us) food. We would go on diets for about a month and then we'd get "too busy" to get groceries and wind up back at our neighborhood bar and grill ordering off the appetizer menu - boneless wings, potato skins (yes...I'm drooling while typing this) to be followed by a BIG bowl of ice cream while sitting on the couch watching HOUSE. It was sad, but unfortunately it became a big, bad habit.
In with the new. Now, we eat in about 95% of the time. Thanks to my recent time off work, I've been able to find new, healthy, AND yummy recipes to cook. We make sure that groceries are purchased each week, with quick (and healthy) options for the nights when we find it too late to cook. If we're out and about, and hungry we'll stop in to Subway and share a sub filled with veggies. Even if my hair is clean. (I hate the way Subway's smell sticks to you and your hair for hours. Gross.) We do let ourselves cheat every once in a while. *Moderation is key* If we're meeting people for dinner, we'll scope out the nutritional information online before, and plan what we will order. Another big change is exercise. I hate working out. Like, I would rather clean toilets than work out and I HATE cleaning toilets. But... it has to be done. So, every morning I wake up and try to talk myself OUT of working out: "You did good yesterday, so take a break today" or "don't turn on the Biggest Loser video, you have it memorized by now.. just do it from memory" and then I tell myself to shut up and I work out to Biggest Loser. PS, I loathe Jillian Michaels more than cleaning toilets. She's evil. But, she's in shape. So, I work out with Jillian Michaels while Cruz sticks his tongue out at me. I wish it was cute to have rolls on my knees, like it is for him. :)
Tyler and I are both excited about our good habits and weight-loss results!
